[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] yahoodimenuin:
Hi guys,

I am trying to get the note 8 to run Linux from external sdcard. I can manually mount the partition and debian runs ok like that. It is a little clunky, but worst case, it is not so bad. What IS bad is that I now cannot remove the external sdcard. Is it possible to partition the internal sdcard and run debian on about 1.5GB of the ~5GB of app space? This would cover pretty much every Linux app I would ever install.

Thanks,

Man this sucks so hard. I was hoping to switch from Verizon to T-mobile but the service at home for me is not going to cut it. Is anyone else in the same boat as me? I'm looking at the Moto X dev edition and the G2, not sure which one will be the best choice after giving up my N5 :(

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack584:
I would get the Note 3 if you can handle the size, I played around with it a little at Best Buy and fell in love. I'm on Verizon so I never had the opportunity to get the Nexus 5, so I will be getting the Note 3 later this week. I might sell it when Google's Verizon project comes out next year, depending what the specs are and how much I like the Note 3.

Keep in mind they do have a Note 3 developer edition.

And if you decide the Note 3 is too big for you, I'd get the G2.

If by "home" you mean your actual house, why not just keep your baby and get better signal?

Have you looked into cellular boosters?

Buying straight from a store is probably going to eat your pockets out and then some, so I would suggest using eBay.

I run AT&T and have horrid service at home, but luckily AT&T has a "Microcell" cell booster that I paid maybe $99 for, but I get full bars everywhere in my house. Well worth it.

Here's one for T-Mobile I found on eBay ending in 2 days as of this reply.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devaughnaw:
I have a similar problem.

Tried Tmobile, no service

Tried Straight Talk, no service

Verizon isn't compatible

Page Plus won't work wither

I'm gonna try out AT&T but IDK if that will work either

I live in a rural area, and it seems like Verizon would be the best carrier for me.

I looked up a Tmobile booster but the prices are ridiculous and I saw a topic earlier where someone bought one but it wasn't working properly with their Nexus 5. I love my Nexus 5 and don't want to give it up, but I might not have a choice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supafing:
As a t mo subscriber for 2+ years its terrible anywhere rural. Had ATT Sprint and Verizon prior. Only Verizon was strong in NH. ATT was second and sprint and T mo are on par with each other. Hence the cheap plans. Thankfully I live not in a rural area anymore in terms of service.

That being said its terrible Verizon opted out not being part of the N5.

Would suggest trying ATT and if that fails if you have the cash get an S4 or HTC One. My HTC One had Sim issue and since I had cracked screen no warranty help so now I have a N5.

Since Verizon doesn't use Sim card...? Maybe HTC one is best for you then use a ROM to get 4.4.

The boom sound and the screen is best in the biz IMHO.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Hey, I have had a problem with no matter what android phone I have. This has been doing it for quite some time but I dealt with it but last night I lost 12 GB of music so here it is:

Whenever I move music in these situations, it will erase all ID3 Tag information (Artist, Album, etc) and all it has is the file name. I had 2000 songs with artist names and all, but when moved it all became unknown artist. Here are the situations:

Galaxy S3: Moving Music from one folder to another (Like from a Download folder to my music folder on external SD). Or from moving music from internal to external or vice versa.

Optimus G: Moving music from one folder to another on the internal storage (Again, like from a download to music folder).

Evo 4G: Just moving from folder to folder.

All this is done with ES. File explorer. I tried other but they do it too. It can not be device specific because it happens on almost any android. All songs are in MP4/MP3 format and maybe some .wma.

Any help would GREATLY be appreciated. Please don't comment saying "Just use google play cloud" or anything, because I do not like cloud storage's. Thanks in advance. Really need help.

If you a file explorer that doesn't do that, what is it?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onurbas:
Hi everyone,

I really like my arc s and I don't want to change it if it does not fail. However, I decided try new ROMS just to make my device a bit different with improved performance.

I checked several of threads and read them carefully. I have already finished these steps (I hope I managed to do properly) :good:

=unlocked boot loader

=rooted with a software called eroot

=installed ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2

As much I understand everything is ready.

So I have downloaded a 4.2 JB custom ROM. I put the zip files to my SD card and also extracted boot.img file to my desktop. By using Flashtool, I flashed it. After that, I rebooted the device to enter CWM mod to be able to load the ROM and googleapps. However, I only get BLACK screen everytime. (I press volume down and power button) :( :( :( .

I followed 3-4 different techniques and different kernels and roms but everytime the result is black unresponsive secreen, I only get small vibration and than black screen forever. Thankfully, I manage to save the device but loading LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2184).ftf with flashtool flash mode. However, I really want a shiny 4.2 in my mobile :( :( :( .

By the way, about my phone : android 4.0.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-perf

I don't know what I am doing wrong with flashing kernel...

Please share your experiences...

What is the kernel logo that pops up, are you sure the kernel flashed correctly
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onurbas:
At least I have identified the problem, I guess

At first I didn't consider that as a problem but I think the reason of this kernel flashing problem is an issue about internal memory of the device. While flashing the kernel with flashtool, an error occurs "1 bad blocks encountered" (check the attachment pls), I did a quick search on the forum as well as Mr Google however the outcome is a bit devastating unfortunately. I think it is impossible to solve the problem. Still, I will be really appreciated if someone shares his/her solution for this problem.

Otherwise, I m kindly asking for ROM suggestions to upgrde my arc s (4.0.4 with kernel 2.6.32.9) without flashing a custom kernel.

Many thanks...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
When installing certain custom ROMs on rooted Android smartphones or tablets, you will encounter “Status 7″ error issues once in awhile with ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery.

Status 7 error is caused while the ROM’s updater script file checks to see if the phone model of your phone is compatible with the ROM you are installing, called “asserts”.

“Asserts” is a safety mechanism so you don’t accidentally install another phone model ROM on your phone. E.g. You tried to install Galaxy S2 ROM on a Galaxy S3 and ending up hard-bricking your phone but you got Status 7 error which saved you.

Now, this safety mechanism is great but there are times where even if you have the correct ROM for your phone, you will get Status 7 error.

This is due to an error by the developer of the ROM in the updater script, causing havoc,

making people install another custom recovery like TWRP recovery for no reason.

You can fix the issue by installing TWRP recovery but if you need to restore your CWM backups later down the line, you will have to re-install CWM recovery, causing a big hassle.

Also, if you update to the latest CWM Recovery using ROM Manager, usually this problem is fixed.

But what if you did update to the latest CWM Recovery and still happens? And yes, it does happen even when you update your CWM recovery.

If you simply don’t want to change your recovery (because if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it) or you still get Status 7 error after changing recovery, you can simply edit the updater script yourself to get rid of the asserts.

All you need is a computer and a zipping program! (You might be able to even do it on your Android device with AndroZip and text editor but I haven’t tried yet.)

MAKE SURE THE ROM YOU ARE INSTALLING IS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR ANDROID DEVICE AS INSTALLING WRONG ROM CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE!

Before we begin, e.g. Make sure if you are installing a ROM on AT&T Galaxy S3, the ROM zip file you downloaded is for AT&T Galaxy S3 not for Verizon Galaxy S3.

Step 1. Copy the ROM zip file to your computer and extract it using your favorite unzipping software.

Step 2. Once unzipped, browse to the META-INF/com/google/android directory. You will find two files called “update-binary” and “updater-script”.

Step 3. Rename “updater-script” to “updater-script.txt” and open with your favorite text file editor.

Step 4. Get rid of the line starting with “assert” to next semi-colon. Usually this is the first line or one of the first lines at the top of the text file. Just delete them.

Step 5. Save file.

Step 6. Rename “updater-script.txt” back to “updater-script”.

Step 7. Rezip all the files you’ve unzipped.

Step 8. Copy the new, edited zip file to your phone.

Step 9. Try re-installing ROM, now it should install fine without Status 7 error.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pointystar:
When I tried to rename it, it stayed as a text file. It didn't revert back to the original file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtweak:
Open up the txt file that you made. Then go to Save As and then for File Type select "All Files" and then for the File Name remove the .TXT so its just updater-script and not updater-script.txt then repack

you can also get an error 7 if there's something on the script thats not present in the build that its telling it to do like package_extract_file("system/bin/backuptool.sh", "/tmp/backuptool.sh"); it wasn't in the bin folder so it kept aborting.

Editing your file extension (fix)

Go to the parent folder of the folder containing the file you want to rename.

In the Options on top, you should see a Tab "Organize" (Windows 7) or "View" (Windows 8). Under "Organise" in Win7 you should find another "View" tab.

Under the "View" tab, you'll find an option to enable the display of file extensions. Toggle that, and you'll be able to see and edit the extensions of all Files in that Folder and its Subfolders.

Hope that worked :)
